Since using psock is not the common case, I'm wondering if it makes more
sense to have an inverse flag - SK_USER_DATA_PSOCK. Flag would be set by
the psock code on assignment to sk_user_data.

This way we would also avoid some confusion. With the change below, the
SK_USER_DATA_NOTPSOCK is not *always* set when sk_user_data holds a
non-psock pointer. Only when SMC sets it.

If we go with the current approach, the rest of sites, execpt for psock,
that assign to sk_user_data should be updated to set
SK_USER_DATA_NOTPSOCK as well, IMO.

That is why I'd do it the other way.
